本課程共分上下二學期，上學期的課程內容為「古典社會學理論」，下學期的課程內容為「當代社會學理論」。下學期的當代社會學理論的目的在於介紹在古典社會學理論之後的理論發展。不同於古典社會學理論，當代社會學理論的發展是眾聲喧嘩、百花齊放的；也因此，在下學期的當代社會學理論的部分，我們將選定某些重要的思想家來介紹，希望同學能夠對不同思想家所提出的理論有兼具深度與廣度的涉獵，以及對於高度分化的當代社會學理論有較為全面的理解。。
本課程的另一個重要的目標在於，希望使同學具備以社會學理論與實際世界的對話的能力。社會學是一門離不開實際世界的學問，社會學理論也是一樣的。不論社會學理論是由現實所歸納而來，還是純粹的理論建構的成果，都必然指涉到實際的社會世界。因此，本課程除了在課堂上藉由閱讀與課堂教學介紹社會學理論之外，也會以問題討論的方式，要求同學對課程中所介紹的社會學理論以實際的社會現象進行反思與對照，訓練同學具備以社會學理論來進行實際思考與應用的能力。問題討論沒有標準答案，但希望同學能夠從課堂中所教授的理論概念出發，對問題進行正反兩面的思辨。
This course is divided into two classes. The course content of the first session is "Classic Social Theory", and the course content of the next session is "Contemporary Social Theory". The purpose of contemporary social theory in the next period is to introduce the theoretical development after classical social theory. Unlike classical social theory, the development of contemporary social theory is loud and blooming; therefore, in the next period of contemporary social theory, we will select some important thinkers to introduce it, hoping that students can have a focus on both depth and diversity of the theories proposed by different thinkers, as well as a more comprehensive understanding of highly differentiated contemporary social theory. .
Another important goal of this course is to enable students to have the ability to talk to the world of social theory. Social science is a study that is independent of the world, and social theory is the same. Whether social theory comes from reality or pure theoretical construction, it must refer to the actual social world. Therefore, in addition to introducing social theory in class through reading and classroom teaching, this course also requires students to reflect and compare the social theory discussed in the course with actual social phenomena, and train students to have the ability to think and apply social theory through social theory. There is no standard answer to the question discussion, but I hope that students can develop the theoretical concepts taught in the class to make two-sided thinking about the problem.
